Hop Growers Discouraged.
UTICA IN. ", May 19th.-A gloomy
feeling pervades the hop districts of Central
New York. Two years ago the growers
hardly realized enough from their hops to
| pay the cost of raising. Those who profited
| materially were they who were able TO hold
| their product for better price, which came
year later. Last year the crop was almost
total failure. Two years of misfortune
| brought distress TO many and failure to
more than few. A third year of disaster
means ruin to a still greater number, and
| the uniform report by hop farmers is that
| third bad year is before them.
